-You may create powerful bombs out of unstable reagents to throw at your enemies. To use a bomb, you must expend 4 TP or MP. Bombs are unstable, and if not used in the round they are created, they degrade and become inert - their method of creation prevents large volumes of explosives from being created and stored. +You may create powerful flasks out of unstable reagents to throw at your enemies. To use a flask, you must expend 1 TP or MP at minimum and for each point of MP or TP spent it adds three  dice of damage, d8s. The maximum dice that can be added is equal to your [[priority:prowess|Prowess]] or Caster Level. When a flask is made you select its damage type to either be Acid or Fire Damage. Once made, any MP or TP spent this way is reserved and does not recover until the flask is used. Making a flask requires 1 minute of work, or any number of Flasks can be made in a 15 minute period.  
  
-Drawing the components of, creating, and throwing a bomb requires a Half Action which provokes Attacks of Opportunity. Thrown bombs are ranged touch attacks, with a range of 30 ft. Bombs are considered to be their own weapon type, and due to this benefit from weapon-specific Talents (at GM discretion). A Bomb inflicts 1d6 + your Primary Casting Attribute modifier points of Fire damage to your target on a successful hit. The damage increases by 1d6 for every rank in[[priority:skills:craft|Craft]] (Alchemy) **and** [[priority:prowess|Prowess]] you possess, to a maximum of 10d6. For example, your Bombs inflict 7d6 + your Primary Casting Attribute modifier if you possess[[priority:skills:craft|Craft]] (Alchemy) 10 and [[priority:prowess|Prowess]] 7.+Thrown flasks are ranged attacks that target Magic Defense, with a range of 30 ft. They use the Weapon Skill (Alchemic). You add either your Primary Casting Ability to damage or Secondary Ability to damage, whichever is higher. In addition whenever you attack with mundane alchemic weapons or mundane thrown explosives you may add your Primary Casting Ability or Secondary Ability to that weapons damage as well.
  
-Bombs instantly become inert if used by anyone other than you. Bombs are treated as Spells for the purpose of Counterspelling and Parrying.+Flasks may be used by others. As a Swift Action you may choose any flask not on your person to become inert, It is a free action if on your person.

-You may place a bomb so that it explodes a number of rounds after you cease contact with the bomb. This delay can be any number of rounds chosen by you, up to your ranks in[[priority:skills:craft|Craft]] (Alchemy). If at any point you reclaim possession of the bomb, you may end the timer and prevent the bomb's detonation. A delayed bomb detonates immediately if any other creature attempts to touch or move the bomb. The bomb deal damage as if it scored a direct hit to any creature within the bomb's square when it detonates (though simply occupying the bomb's square does not set it off), and splash damage is applied as normal if you possess the Explosive Bomb Talent. The bomb may be disabled via [[priority:skills:disable_device|]].+You may place a flask so that it explodes a number of rounds after you cease contact with the bomb.

-When you make a Bomb, you may choose to have it work against objects rather than creatures. Bombs of this type ignore hardness equal to your CL or [[priority:prowess|Prowess]], whichever is higher (round down), and may be used for sundering if desired. The Bomb's damage rolls against any excess hardness as normal. Objects caught in the radius of a Bomb that is affected by Demolition Charge and Explosive Bomb take half damage, and the bomb only bypasses half as much hardness. +<WRAP center round info 60%>

-You may spend 2 extra TP/MP when making a Bomb to create a **Bomb-Omb**, a tiny construct primed with a bomb (the Bomb may be affected by any Bomber Talents you possess as desired, by spending TP/MP as normal). Undirected, they take no actions except to flock around you in your square and follow you as best they can. They can be attacked normally, but gain cover while occupying your square. As a Swift Action, you can order one of your Bomb-Ombs to attack an enemy it can see. The Bomb-Omb moves at a speed of 30 ft., and if it successfully reaches the square of your chosen target, it immediately detonates, dealing direct hit damage to the chosen creature, and applying any other bomb effects as normal.+You gain the ability to make the following admixtures.

If destroyed before reaching it's target, it falls inert and harmless to the ground, and is considered expended. A creature other than the target may successfully disable it with a [[priority:skills:disable_device|]] check against your[[priority:skills:craft|Craft]] (Alchemy) check.

Round down to the nearest 5 ft. increment.

Washing the chemical off requires special soap or chemicals that can be made with a Craft (Alchemy) DC 20 and 1 Alchemic Part. It takes about 1 minute to wash off.

They cost the same amount as a Flask however they no longer require a Ranged Attack roll and have a range of 90 ft. Instead they affect a cross shape with a 15ft diameter.

The Spell takes effect at the target location, or onto the target creature if it is a ranged touch attack spell. You must fulfill any normal requirements for the spell to take effect. The "caster" of the spell is considered to be the Bomb, and due to this it is the point of origin for spells that leverage the caster's position, such as [[priority:magic:spells:tier1:burning_hands|]]. Creatures make saves against the DC of the spell as normal, in addition to any effects of the Bomb itself against the Bomb's DC(s). You must spend the TP/MP for the Bomb **and** the Spell used as normal. Bombs of this type do not function at all in an [[priority:magic:spells:tier8:antimagic_field|]] or similar effects.
